What a lovely story of how you came to be with your loving family Noli! You are a beautiful girl! I have always loved the name Magnolia. A pretty name for a very pretty girl! Welcome to Pet Talk , I know your mommy and family are so very proud of you. I once had a lab mix many years ago, and ours was a playful pup named Jake. He growed very, very large and remained just as playful as he was as a tike and was a real delight. He had to be taught that he couldn't play so rough because my son Blake was very small back then, he was a treasure to our family, like I can tell you are to yours. thosdr, you are lucky to have such a sweetheart of a pet, and Noli is lucky to have you too! Thanks a bunch for sharing. I hope to hear lots more about you and all your furry siblings!
